BOMB Magazine, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, delivers the artist's voice through in-depth interviews between visual artists, writers, composers, directors & architects. BOMB's mission is to reveal artists' ideas, their thoughts and creative processes, as well as their progress, through carefully developed dialogues – now and for posterity.BOMB first launched in 1981 as an artists' and writers' quarterly because its founders saw a disparity between the way artists talked about their work among themselves and the way in which it was described by critics. Since then, BOMB has re-invented the question-and-answer format, publishing conversations that delve deep into theory and practice, allowing for complex discussions on art and life to emerge.
Considered primary documents of American cultural history, BOMB's Archive has twice been awarded NEA Heritage and Preservation Grants for excellence, and was acquired by Columbia University's Rare Book & Manuscript Library in 2004.

The "moving wall" represents the time period between the last issue
available in JSTOR and the most recently published issue of a journal.
Moving walls are generally represented in years. In rare instances, a
publisher has elected to have a "zero" moving wall, so their current
issues are available in JSTOR shortly after publication.
Note: In calculating the moving wall, the current year is not counted.
For example, if the current year is 2008 and a journal has a 5 year
moving wall, articles from the year 2002 are available.

Terms Related to the Moving Wall

Fixed walls: Journals with no new volumes being added to the archive.

Absorbed: Journals that are combined with another title.

Complete: Journals that are no longer published or that have been
combined with another title.
